Citroen Basalt coupe SUV teased ahead of India debut, launch likely by end of 2024
The Citroen Basalt coupe SUV, which until now was known as the C3X, was officially presented for the first time. The French automaker’s new product with a unique body will make its debut on March 27th as a concept.
The automaker will reveal the design of its next product and is expected to launch the Basalt during the festive season later this year in India. The crossover based on the C3 will be offered to the domestic market and will probably also be exported to other markets.
The Citroen Basalt is based on the same CMP platform and will share most of its mechanics with existing products in the Citroen range. The new crossover will likely offer more features than the C3 Aircross.
We’ve seen the prototype several times and after taking a close look at some of the test mules, we believe the exterior will have the same design language as its other siblings right down to the B-pillar. the luggage compartment. The tail lamps in the teaser look premium with LED accents. We expect the production version to carry the same elements.
The interior will likely be the same as the C3 Aircross, but with small adjustments, such as new color tones and some extra features. We hope that rear passenger headroom and boot space are not compromised with this design layout.
The Citroën Basalt will be powered by the same 1.2-litre turbo petrol engine, producing 110 hp and 190 Nm of torque, mated to a 6-speed manual gearbox or a 6-speed torque converter automatic transmission. There will be no diesel engine on offer.
It will compete with the Tata Curvv in the Indian market. The price is expected to be more premium than the C3 Aircross or at least similar to it. What do you think of the design of this SUV coupe? Let us know in the comments section.
